10.0;pn (pad_name) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
pn (pad_name)  save transcript pad in named file
usage:  pn pathname



DESCRIPTION
     The pn command names a transcript pad and makes it permanent.  That is,
     the pad is stored in a file and remains on the system after all windows
     to it are deleted.  However, the file remains in use and locked, until
     the process is stopped and all windows are closed.  If you do not use the
     pn command, transcript pads are deleted when all windows to them are
     deleted.

     You can also use the pn command to change the name of an edit pad.

ARGUMENTS
     pathname (required)
                    Specify the pathname where the DM saves the pad.  The
                    pathname must be cataloged in a directory on your node
                    (that is, you cannot save a file on your node if the
                    filename is cataloged on some other node).

SEE ALSO
     More information is available.  Type the following at an Aegis shell
     prompt:
